Jack Wilson

John William Wilson (20 August 1921 – 13 October 1985) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test match in 1956.

Life and career A left-arm spinner from Victoria who delivered the ball at almost medium pace, Wilson was nicknamed "Chuck" or "Chucker" because of the jerkiness of his action, a legacy of a football injury when he was a teenager. However, his action was never officially questioned.

He toured England with Australia in 1956, but Wisden commented that he "never adapted himself to English conditions" and "lacked finger-spin". He took 43 wickets on the English leg of the tour but did not play in any of the Test matches. Ian Johnson, returning after injury, replaced him for the third Test, played on a spinners' wicket at Calcutta, which Australia won.

An indifferent batsman who usually batted at No. 11, Wilson had a highest first-class score of 19 not out.
